'Coronation Street' actress Lucy Fallon has never tried a cup of tea in her 22 years - and insists she never will.

The 'Coronation Street' star has gone a massive 22 years without ever sipping the aromatic beverage, despite the UK being one of the world's greatest tea consumers since the 18th century, but insists she doesn't ever intend to sip the likes of builders, breakfast, or Earl Grey for as long as she lives.

She tweeted: "never had a cup of tea in my life and I intend to keep it that way x (sic)"

The 'Corrie' actress' omission shocked a number of the Twittersphere, including her co-star Georgia Taylor (Toyah Battersby), who admitted Lucy's surprise beverage boast had left her feeling "a bit sad".
